Bay Animal Hospital | Panama City, Florida
At Bay Animal Hospital, we've spent more than 30 years building something special—a practice known for exceptional medicine, loyal clients, and a team that genuinely enjoys working together.
We're looking for an experienced Associate Veterinarian who values collaboration, enjoys practicing high-quality medicine, and wants the support and autonomy to do their best work every day.
Here, you'll find an established client base, experienced technicians, modern equipment, and fellow doctors who enjoy sharing ideas and supporting one another. We believe great medicine starts with great people, which is why we've created a culture where teamwork, respect, and work-life balance are just as important as clinical excellence.
And when the day is over, you're only minutes from the white-sand beaches of the Gulf Coast. Whether you enjoy boating, fishing, waterfront restaurants, or simply watching the sunset after work, Panama City offers the lifestyle that makes it easy to recharge and enjoy life outside the hospital.

Heartland Veterinary Partners is a support organization that is committed to improving the lives of veterinarians. We purchase veterinary practices and provide operational support to relieve administrative burdens such as payroll, recruiting, HR, marketing and accounts payables. If needed, we invest to support growth. The practices maintain their unique branding, culture and clinical autonomy.
At Heartland, we believe that selling a veterinary practice shouldn’t mean losing what makes it remarkable. When we acquire a practice, the doctor comes first. We listen closely to their needs in order to create a one-of-a-kind solution to ease their administrative burdens—all without disrupting their day-to-day operations, the culture they’ve fostered, and the relationships they’ve built. In other words, the name over the door doesn’t go away. The headaches of running a business do.
Partnering veterinarians appreciate an improved work-life balance, less financial worry, and the confidence that their teams will be in good hands. Best of all, they get to focus on why they entered the business in the first place: to care for animals and to be present when their clients need them most. Practice team members enjoy the warm culture of their individual community practices combined with the support and resources that Heartland brings to the table.
Improving the lives of veterinarians means supporting them at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a veterinary student or a new graduate looking for hands-on learning to begin your career or an experienced veterinarian looking to tackle management and leadership opportunities, we keep your goals at the heart of everything we do.
The Heartland Support Center team is hardwired to serve. We follow the philosophy of servant leadership and put the needs of others first with a genuine desire to help. As a result, Heartland’s practices count on team members to be there for them with heart and solution, not a corporate agenda.
